One of the test vehicles was a Firebolt. What is really interesting is the positive comments published regarding the Firebolt.

There are three(3) pages to the article. I will post each page below:

In the end our testing left us convinced that engine characteristics are an integral part of motorcycle handling and that classic sporting Twins are different than supersport Fours and some late Japanese Twins.

Well, duh!!!
